Revert commit70523f3357("Revert "x86/smp: Eliminate mwait_play_dead_cpuid_hint()"") to reapply the changes from commit96040f7273("x86/smp: Eliminate mwait_play_dead_cpuid_hint()") reverted by it. Previously, these changes caused idle power to rise on systems booting with "nosmt" in the kernel command line because they effectively caused "dead" SMT siblings to remain in idle state C1 after executing the HLT instruction, which prevented the processor from reaching package idle states deeper than PC2 going forward. Now, the "dead" SMT siblings are rescanned after initializing a proper cpuidle driver for the processor (either intel_idle or ACPI idle), at which point they are able to enter a sufficiently deep idle state in native_play_dead() via cpuidle, so the code changes in question can be reapplied.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
